The stunning turquoise waters at a Cornwall beach revered by tourists and locals alike turned brown yesterday - as children enjoyed a last splash of the half-term holidays. A surfer captured the images off the popular Trevaunance Cove, St Agnes, Cornwall, initially fearing it was sewage.
The usually stunning waters turned brown as the flow poured into the cove. The person filming, who wishes to remain anonymous, pans the video around to show the scale of the problem, which runs hundreds of feet out into the sea.
They said: "Sadly the events in the video are on the increase, happening more often with less rainfall, rather than reducing. As a regular water user I can testify to this. It did improve in the late 90's/early 2000s after pressure from organisations such Surfers Against Sewage.
